Man of Steel

MAN OF STEELAn initially promising sci-fi reboot of the quintessential superhero gets bogged down in more destruction than fifty Michael Bay films. The dark, humorless tone is partially mitigated by some great performances and visuals, while a boneheaded climactic twist needs to be further qualified in the sequel to avoid character damage.

...and don't call me CHIEF!

Bitten by a radioactive silverfish at the age of five, Karl Heitmueller Jr. (aka Kalli, aka Pops Gustav) gained the power of pop culture hyper-perception.
Now as an adult, he writes, draws and cartoons about comics, movies, television, music, Superman, advertising, design, politics, religion, drinking and jerks.
Sometimes all at once.
